Hello folks,

Couldn't find any information on this particular cpu but ended up buying it anyways. Here's some benchmark results for those that are interested:

Cinebench R10: 32bit 1 CPU: 2861
Cinebench R10: 32bit x CPU: 5401
X3 Terran Conflict Benchmark Demo (1900x1200x32, Texture and shadow quality = high, everything else unchecked): 13.640 fps

System used:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P61M-USB3-B3
Memory: Corsair XMS 3 (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) running at 1066mhz (using single chip)
GFX: Onboard, or should that be on cpu? :)
Hard drive: Samsung HD154UI
CPU Fan: Arctic Freezer Pro Rev 2
Case fan: Noctua NF-P14 FLX
PSU: Seasonic X-400FL Fanless
Sound: Onboard
TV Card: Hauppauge hvr-4000

System Power Consumption (at socket according to a 'Plug-In Power and Energy Monitor'):

Idle: 35 watts
Loaded (with Prime 95): 50 watts
Watching 1080p x264: 39 watts
While running X3 Terran Conflict Benchmark: 44 - 48 watts depending on scene.

Additional information:

Internal gfx clock speed I left at default speed of 1100mhz, along with all the voltages in BIOS (I can post undervolting results if anyone cares).
Don't forget that Cinebench R10 32bit version runs slower than the 64bit version if you are wanting to compare.
Intel gfx software settings on defaults (driver version 144655361), nothing changed at all.

Not really much of a review I know but more than I could find when I needed some info. I needed a system that used as little power as possible as it is on 24/7, was capable of playing back HD material using my TV card and was also able to play back x264 video's. For this purpose it is an excellent little CPU. According to my calculations, based on what we pay for electric, should save me about £40 a year compared to the core2duo based system I was using before.
 
I'd seen the G620 on a review on XBit labs but they were comparing it with the T version of the 2100. Would have been ideal if they had compared the t versions of both :) Was well aware that you could make your own T version just by lowering the voltages but was kind of hoping I'd be able to undervolt the T version more.
